- I need to clean my clear glass
- I’m glass I stocked up on good topaz
- even odd lots have odd lots
- air pressure in a blizzard causes the toilet water to recede

The Little Things
- The sizzle of a molten end of glass when I tap it in the water
- The memory or learning to break a stringer clean in the water at BeadCamp with great friends (thanks Misha)
- The lure of the kiln in the morning
- Seeing a pic of a bead and thinking - “wow, that looks great”
- Waking to emails from customers on the other side of the globe with nice things to say
- Watching the creation of large glass sculptures from the furnace
- Feeling like a tuba player after a day of furnace work
- Getting to know my UPS, Fed-Ex and USPS guys
- Laughing at the looks from neighbors who don’t just walk over and ask what I’m doing when I’m sitting on the front yard taking pictures of marbles or sawing huge rods of glass in the garage
- Having huge rolls of paper for my kids to draw on always at hand
- Making my hand dizzy unwrapping new glass
- Pulling a bead that didn’t make the first cut out of the tumbler and finding there was a pretty bead underneath

- Ornaments are fragile
- Ornaments will make good Christmas gifts next year
- I need to narrow focus
- I am not yet the person I want to be
